James must like things in his mouth.
I think Randy is gonna replace that cigar with something else if u know what I mean. It will be a submission never seen before.

Can anybody tell me what Toney said to Rogan after the fight?
between Toney’s mushmouth and the noise in the bar, I didn’t catch a word of it.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
He said he'd be back
I couldn’t understand any of it either. I did pick that little bit up though.
Noons does not have power in his hands. Maybe his knees but his hands do not have KO power. they’re good enough to cut up and swell up gurgel’s face, but he won’t be ko’ing gurgel tonight.-STAK
now im no Boxing Fan
and i’d never heard of this guy before he started showing up in DW’s video blogs but seriously, is this the “BEST” shape he’s been in, in a while? how fat was he before, when he was actually competing in boxing?
Never
I’m 23 and have only watched MMA since high school. Seen a Tyson fight here and there when I was younger but never heard of Toney till now

Well welcome to the wonderful world of MMA and fighting.
Toney is a legend. He is an aliterate fool. But you have to respect his carrer he has had. If you are becoming an MMA fan, it would help to learn some of the boxing world items.. It will give you a better appreciation of MMA and what it has become
A legend?
He was good but not a legend, you must buy in to the hype a little to easy.
Actually I cant stand Toney..
You must be one of those one sided fight guys that will get all sensitive if someone compares MMA to boxing at all..
No I'm not
Being a legend means a lot, tyson,ali, leonard, those are legends. Whats your case for toney?
10 belts or something
Boxing pundits call him a legend. Who am I to argue. Besides, who gives a shit?

Dang right...Toney ain't no legend. Tyson I could accept. But not Toney...Though he had multiple titles and he was tooling Holyfield back in the day!

wrestling in recent years?

Yep
He’s the only one. And he could beat Frankie too. He wouldn’t even be giving up any size.

He would tenderize that shit.
Frankie wouldn’t be running around like he does for long. Why is Zuffa wasting everyone’s time with him in the WEC. Nobody cares about that shit.
Lets see him at 155.

Don't even merge it
Just call up the good guys that develop there. Like a Major League Baseball club (UFC) and there AAA affiliate (WEC).
They could send the garbage to WEC and sign the 20 or so good talent to the UFC. A feeder system.

How about this : Put the WEC Championship Fight on a UFC Card.
Just one fight….They have room to put that on instead of showing us highlights of the preliminary matches on Spike….
Another semi-viable option
WEC doesn’t have the exact same cage size or rules. It would be weird to change the rules and cage for a WEC fight. Plus I’m sure the station that carries WEC fights would be PISSED to lose their best fights to PPV channels.

Yeah....I mean let's stop insulting the Fan's intelligence.
We all know that WEC is an extension of the UFC.
JUST MERGE THAT SHIT UNDER THE SAME UFC UMBRELLA ALREADY!!
exactly. i think the wec champs (other than LW) would love to rather be called ufc champs rather than wec champs. and i would love them in the ufc game.

i sure am glad edgar won this fight in the fashion he did. now maybe all the penn fans will stop complaining. penn is a great fighter, but edgar is the better fighter no doubt.

Not one BJ Penn fan will admit that Frankie is the better fighter.
Except OJ, he’s rational. Everyone else will have a “reason” for these losses.

I'm a BJ fan and I think Frankie took the torch from Penn...
I have no idea how poeple on the internet can have so much hatred for a man they have never met. Is your life so miserable that mis-directed hatred fills the gap in whatever it is that your lacking?
I am a long time BJ fan since the first fight I saw him knock out Din Thomas, He’s been on top for a long time. Things change, champions lose, people get old overnight…… dust becomes dust… whatever.
I’m happy for Frankie, I don’t think the championship could go to a more class act. He’s humble and he’s respectful and he is an absolute destroyer. Good for him….

I wouldn't say Frankie is a destroyer. He's never really fought anyone good.
There was that one shitty hawaiian guy but he was over rated. We’ll see if Frankie is good when he faces a tough opponent.

Nah, it's good. Toney brings more PPV buys because boxing fans(who are usually MMA-haters)would like to see boxing demolish MMA. Too bad it won't happen in this lifetime.

And neither does Toney care that he got his ass destroyed...
But he’ll get PAID IN FULL ’cause he was smart in “THINKING OF A MASTAH PLAN…..” when he annoyed Dana into letting him get his brains beat in for a paycheck triple the amount other MMA fighters not named Brock Lesnar get….

Nope, it's time for Penn/Hughes III
Those guys have a score to settle and the timing is perfect. Neither of them has a belt to worry about right now and neither of them has declined into complete irrelevancy yet. It’s the biggest payday and most important fight (legacy wise) that either of them could hope for right now.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Pretty good idea, actually.
If I was a hungry man with a gun in my hand and some promises to keep...
It's that or Penn/Gomi
Those are probably his biggest two post-champion matches they could book for him right now. He has two losses to the champions of the WW and LW divisions. Any title aspirations he may still have are essentially shot until one of them loses their belt.
Gomi would only interest the hardcore fans. Most people outside of Japan still don’t know Gomi. Hughes is a looooong time champ and a UFC legend. Penn and Hughes are both Guaranteed Hall of Famers and each has a win over the other…time to settle the score while it still means something. It would be epic and the biggest crowd draw either of them is capable of by far!
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Im just happy Kenny lost....Thats all I wanted...couldnt give a shit about the rest of the card
I like bacon...and Rashad Evans is a pussy

Time for Penn/Hughes III
All you people who know what the hell a Twitter is and how the hell to use one, please bombard Dana on my behalf and lets make this fight happen! No other fight makes more sense for Penn right now and it’s time to settle the score for History’s sake before these guys get any older. I can’t think of a more exciting match for either of them right now.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
I can
Hughes/Alves
I think Hughes can beat him this time. Eliminate Alves completely. Get Hughes some revenge.
What happens if BJ fights Hughes and wins? Does he just stay at WW? Do you know what good WW wrestlers would do to him? Kos, GSP, Fitch….BJ wouldn’t even be near the top 5 any more. He should stay at LW and fight Kenny. That is a rematch Kenny could win.
Noons does not have power in his hands. Maybe his knees but his hands do not have KO power. they’re good enough to cut up and swell up gurgel’s face, but he won’t be ko’ing gurgel tonight.-STAK
you're slippin, Jay
BJ would school Kenny AGAIN. And I think BJ vs Kos would be VERY exciting and competative if BJ’s in the right frame of mind.
But those fights are of no historical significance. Settling the Penn/Hughes trilogy would be epic and go down in MMA history alongside Couture-Liddell and Rampage-Wanderlei, actually it would almost certainly rank above Rampage/Wandy.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Really, Shonuff?
Did you miss the fight last night? Are you trying to get BJ his third loss in a row?

well, I'm certainly not interested in giving him a "gimme" match
If he loses 3 in a row, it’s his own damn fault. No disrespect to Frankie, I think the world of him, but B.J. is way more talented than Edgar, not to mention twice his size. He lost both those fights because his head wasn’t in the game and Frankie simply outworked him. We were told that B.J.‘s lazy days were over, but that is obviously not the case. Much as I hate him and hate saying anything good about him, BJ really is a “Prodigy”. So if he can’t get his sorry ass out of bed to train or lay off the weed, or whatever his problem is, I don’t see why the UFC should spoon-feed a guy with that much talent just because he isn’t motivated to fight at the level he’s capable of. Give him Hughes. They hate each other. If that doesn’t motivate him, nothing will and it will be no real loss to see him wash out. He can always come back when he gets his head on straight and maybe by then, we’ll care again.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Good points.
I just don’t see any reason for BJ to go to WW at all, really. I just don’t see any reason to have him continue losing, he’s a good draw and makes the UFC a lot of money. I don’t think they’ll allow him to continue on this cold streak. His next fight just may be a gimme like Florian or Gomi.

I’ve got no issue with a Gomi rematch. But Florian was too recent and too dominant to be of any interest to anyone. And B.J is a huge LW. He even looked big against Diego. He’d have no problem fighting at WW, he’s a former WW Champ. But the Hughes trilogy needs to be settled. They are the two biggest champions/legends their size, both take a back seat to GSP, but they’re 1-1 against each other and for the sake of their legacy, that score needs to be settled. Plus no other fight the UFC could put BJ or Hughes in could hit half he buys that fight would.

I Don't Mind At All
That Dana invested his money once again to prove to the world that MMA is the far superior test of combat arts.
When you have Dana White kind of money, you can spend it to see one of the biggest names in boxing on his back getting throttled by a MMA legend.
Yes Toney had a most impressive boxing record but MMA is a different animal (which he painfully discovered last night.
As for Penn/Edgar, I told you all that Edgar was going to defeat Penn once again. It’s science and if you know the science behind training athletes, you would have seen that Penn had no chance against Edgar.
As for Aldo beating Edgar. Maybe….it would be a great fight. I think Aldo may come close to having the requisite speed needed to match Frank. What you notice though is while Frankie was fast, he was also precise and smart in his takedown attempts and his boxing gets better every bout.
Frank Edgar is going to be champion for quite some time.
Stop with the blanket statements.......
Sitting at the garden watching BJ get his ass handed to him was like Deja Vu!!! I thought the last fight was close with BJ winning 1-3 close…… and frankie winning 4-5 handedly.
Last night, Frankie won 1-5 handedly. He out struck, out grappled and I really think demoralized BJ. Seemed like every time he got taken down, or that leg sweep……he just gave up, but he didn’t. It was Frankie showing that he really is the champion and despite that lack of finishing fights, he is the dominant champion now that BJ once was.
It will be interesting to see where BJ goes from here? BJ and Kenny 2??
In Abu Dhabi
I had BJ taking round 1 simply because he was the champ and had nothing go wrong. After that, 2-5 went to Edgar. How can you score round 3 for Penn when the first takedown of the night came in that round with BJ getting thrown down? With that takedown, Edgar had that round because BJ did nothing that would have overcome the points issued for the takedown.
I honestly do not know where BJ goes from here. He will handily defeat K-Flo and the only guy who would give BJ a good fight is fighting Frankie for the belt.
Does anyone know what the problem Edgar had with the comision?
Dana mentioned it a few times and the reason why Edgar was late at the press conference. I apologize if someone already posted it, i’m too lazy and hung over to read all the posts.
Im an idiot, just heard it.........
Sorry, i might still be drunk
he said, "I was just trying to piss in the cup for them"
I think after some of those groin knees he took in the fight, Frankie’s prostrate was slowing his flow and he was having trouble filling the cup.
